Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are your clamshell food containers made from and are they microwave-safe?
Our clamshell food containers come in a variety of materials to suit different needs. We offer options from recyclable plastics, biodegradable materials, and sugarcane bagasse. The plastic versions are typically made from PET or PP, which are food-safe and can withstand moderate heat. Most of our plastic clamshells are microwave-safe for reheating, but we recommend checking the specific product details or symbols on the packaging to be sure.
How secure are the closures on your clamshell containers and will they prevent spills during transport?
The closures on our clamshell containers are designed to be secure and leak-resistant, making them ideal for food delivery and takeaway services. Most of our clamshells feature a snap-lock mechanism that creates a tight seal when closed properly. This design helps prevent spills and keeps food fresh during transport. Some containers have multiple locking points around the edge for added security. While these closures are highly effective for most food items, it's worth noting that they may not be 100% leak-proof for very liquid dishes. For soups or saucy meals, we recommend using our clamshells with the most secure closures or considering additional packaging methods, like wrapping the container in cling film.
Can your clamshell containers be used for both hot and cold foods?
Our clamshell containers are versatile and can be used for hot and cold foods. Our containers generally handle temperatures up to 85-100°C for hot foods, depending on the specific material. They're great for keeping meals warm during delivery or serving hot dishes at events. For cold foods, these containers perform equally well. They can be used for chilled salads and desserts or in the freezer for short-term storage.
Are your clamshell containers environmentally friendly and how should they be disposed of after use?
We're committed to offering environmentally friendly packaging options extending to our clamshell container range. We have several eco-friendly choices, including containers from recycled plastics, biodegradable materials and renewable resources like sugarcane bagasse. The disposal method depends on the specific material of the container. Our recyclable plastic clamshells can be placed in your regular recycling bin after a quick rinse.
